A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

'The power of The Giants lies in its combination of stylistic virtuosity and political urgency' Times Literary Supplement

Upon an immense stretch of flat ground at the mouth of a river bathed in sunlight rises Hyperpolis.It stands there, surrounded by its four asphalt car-parks, to condemn us - a huge enveloping supermarket.Each of us will see ourselves reflected in the characters who move mindlessly about Hyperpolis, but The Giants is a call to rebellion. This bold and inventive novel is the work of a tremendously talented writer and both an intoxicating and exhilarating read.

'author of new departures, poetic adventure and sensual ecstasy, explorer of a humanity beyond and below the reigning civilization' Nobel Prize Committee

Biographie de l'auteur :

J.M.G. Le Clézio was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature in 2008. He was born in Nice, France, in 1940 to a French mother and her first-cousin, a Mauritian doctor of French origin who, being born in Mauritius when the island was under British rule, held a British passport. However, the family was completely Francophone. Jean-Marie Le Clézio has travelled extensively and is articulate in English and Spanish, but his true homeland is very much the French language. He spends his time between France (Nice, Paris and Brittany), and Albuquerque New Mexico.He has published more than 40 books since he won the Renaudot Prize in 1963, age 23, with Le Procès-verbal (The Interrogation), and his works have been translated around the world into 36 languages.
